ā yā́tam úpa bhūṣataṃ mádhvaḥ píbataṃ aśvinā | dugdháṃ páyo vṛ́ṣaṇā jényāvasū mā́ no mardhiṣṭam ā́ gatam
Translation
Kommt herbei; schmückt euch und tretet näher, o Aśvins; trinkt vom süßen (honiggleichen) Trank. Die Milch, der nährende Saft — o ihr zwei Mächtigen, reich an edlem Schatz — verletzt uns nicht: kommt wahrlich herbei.
